Going Green

Hello Everyone,

Today is our second meeting of the Mod Conn Quilt Guild. At our first meeting, a challenge was issued. We needed to use just green fabric and create a 12.5 inch unfinished block. We had to interpret what green means to us. We will bring our blocks to the meeting and then we will discuss a layout for them into one quilt!

Fun!

So I started out with this, using my scraps but wasn't quite happy at how it was turning out. It just wasn't what I envisioned.

I started again. I decided to paper piece my idea. I drew up the lines on paper a bit larger than 12.5 inches so that I could trim down to the appropriate size.

Here is the beginnings of my Blades of Grass. That is what I envision when I see green these days. Everything here is just soooo green.

Here is the block all completed. Just a few blades of grass is various greens. Definitely what I had envisioned. I am looking forward to seeing everyone else's blocks and what their interpretation of green will be.

I will make sure to take photos today and post them to show you all the different blocks that were made.
